Disclaimer: I do not own Godzilla or Fairy Tail. I only own the OCs Jack & Markus Reeves.
"Boy, wake up!"
"Gah! Jesus, dad." Jack groaned as he sat up, putting a hand to his head as soon as he felt a headache beginning to form. "You should be an alarm clock with how you wake somebody up like that."
"You've snoozed long enough." Godzilla scoffed before getting serious. "Look around you, we aren't where we should be."
"What do you-oh." Jack paused as he saw his surroundings. Instead of being somewhere in New York, with destroyed cars, pieces of buildings blown out, fires springing around, Jack was laying on a grassy field in a lush, green forest.
Jack got to his feet, brushing dirt and grass off his coat and jeans, before looking around with a confused expression on his face, his brows furrowing.
"Where the hell are we?" He asked. "And how did we even end up from New York City to some forest?"
"I'm not sure, but everything feels different... this doesn't smell or feel like our world." Godzilla said, just as confused as Jack was.
"Not our world? You're telling me that, somehow, when Markus and I attacked each other we ended up sending ourselves into another world?" Jack asked in disbelief.
"That's not what I'm saying. I'm not sure what to make of it myself!" Godzilla snapped defensively. "Our only best bet would be to find a settlement, a small town, city, even a village, and we will find our answers there."
Before Jack could reply to that, he tensed as his enhanced hearing picked up footsteps behind him just before a rather large shadow loomed over him. When he turned around, he saw something extremely bizarre.
It was an incredibly large, gorilla-like creature. It had a lavender chest and face, with a similarly lavender cone sticking out from the top of its head, and noticeably long ears and chin to match. It had green fur all over its body, save for its legs and tail, which were a darker shade of green, and the pink, heart-shaped symbols on its shoulders and arms in a line pattern.
"You dare come into my territory, punk?" The creature sneered. "You got five seconds get off my turf before I smash your little face in."
Jack just stared for several seconds before he said. "...Giant talking monkey is definitely not something seen in my world. This is definitely another world, and with a more annoying monkey than Kong is."
"What'd you call me, ya little punk?" the ape-like being growled, visibly angry.
Jack straightened up, his eyes narrowing as he snorted smoke from his nostrils. "You better not be challenging me, monkey. You do not want to pick a fight with me, trust me."
The gorilla-like beast then leaned down and got right in the young man's face, all the while having an overconfident air about him. "Oh yeah? And what if I am? What're you gonna do about it?!" he retorted.
"This." With that, Jack drove his clenched right fist into the ape-creature's chin, sending him flying through the air and crashing into several trees that toppled from the impact of the crash. Jack snorted and turned to walk away while tying his sheathed katana to his right hip, intending to find civilization and from the smells he was getting... there was one North since he could also smell the sea, and that usually means there has to be a port nearby.
Most of the time, anyway.
However, he had just taken three steps when he sensed danger and leaned to the side to avoid a tree from slamming into him, watching as it crashed into the ground and made a trench in the grass before calmly turning to see the ape-creature was back and lumbering towards him, cracking his knuckles.
"Nobody makes a fool out of me." The creature growled.
"He's just as annoying as Kong is, stubborn as well." Godzilla groaned, very much reminded of his fellow Alpha Titan and rival. Although they weren't as hostile as before, it had not stopped them from annoying each other. "End this and get moving."
"Yeah, yeah." Jack rolled his eyes, watching as the ape-creature charged at him with a fierce look in it's eyes while Jack remained calm. His right arm was soon covered by a blue flame with white in it, cocked his fist back and then drove it directly into the ape's face when it was close enough, resulting in a small explosion that burned the side of the creature's face that had been struck and sending it flying and crashing through more trees.
Nodding, Jack turned and walked away, knowing that had to have taken the monkey out.
As the host of Godzilla continued to trek through the forest, he had plenty of time to think on his current situation. He was obviously in another world, perhaps an alternate Earth, alternate dimension, alternate Universe. His thoughts turned to his brother, Markus, wondering if he had ended up here with him and where he was. There was no use in worrying about what was outside of his control. The only thing he could do now was press on, and hopefully, find someone hospitable in this world.
After walking for a while, and no signs of any intelligent life, Jack was beginning to wonder if he had perhaps picked the wrong way to go until suddenly, he heard the faint sound of a ship's horn blowing to announce it's arrival into port. He ran in the direction he heard it from, coming onto a dirt trail that had obvious signs of life passing by, and then he found a sign, a wooden one.
Welcome to Hargeon.
"Hargeon?" Jack tested the name, frowning. "The fuck kind of place is that?"
"I'm not sure." Godzilla said with a frown as well. "But it's more proof we are not on our world."
Jack walked a little bit and found himself staring at a small town... a very old-fashioned looking town that looked like it belonged in the days before technology, like a fantasy world or medieval era given that he didn't see any cars, trucks, vehicle of any kind. He did see a port, with ships bringing in their cargo or departing from the docks.
Curious, and because it was the first sign of human life, Jack made his way into Hargeon town.
Walking through the town, Jack couldn't help but look around in wonder at the sights and sounds of all the shops and attractions. Even Godzilla was impressed by how clean the town was. Each house and building was made of beautiful bricks and timber and was evenly placed across a fully paved stone road. As he was walking through a large crowd of people, Jack couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the clothing these people wore. Everyone was wearing many different clothes in a wide variety of styles and colors. Some even greeted him with good mornings and Jack simply nodded back.
He continued down the road. However, his attention was captured when he noticed a rather large group of women. Surrounding something and yelling 'Salamander' with hearts in their eyes.
"Salamander?" Jack raised an eyebrow. "The heck are girls so excited about a small reptile for?"
"I have a feeling we're going to find out." Godzilla sighed as Jack proceeded to walk over to see what was going on. He was at the back of the crowd. But when he looked at the eyes of the girls, he noticed that they held hearts in them. His instincts were telling him something was wrong, and he started moving forward towards the front. Accidentally bumping into a blonde girl that when he was nudged a bit.
"Sorry." He said distractedly before moving in front of her. Failing to notice that the hearts in the blonde's eye's shattered like glass.
When he was almost to the front of the crowd, another person broke out of the crowd a few feet away. The person was a lean, muscular young man around Jack's age of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, spiky pink-colored hair, and had abnormal sharp canines. Under the red long coat he was wearing, the young man had a sleeveless, gold-trimmed, black waistcoat left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, a gold-trimmed, black cloth around his waist that reached his knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle, white knee-length trousers with black ribbon ties, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, black open-toed sandals and a scale-patterned scarf.
"Igneel it's me-!" He shouted, but stop. Shocked to see that he's got the wrong person.
Jack looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Who the heck was he? However, when his powerful nose sniffed the air, focusing on the scent of the pink-haired boy, the Titan host instantly knew something was different about him. He wasn't quite human. There was something different about his scent.
'I've never smelled this scent before.' Jack commented to his adopted father, who merely grunted in reply, a sign that he had no idea himself.
"Who the heck are you?" The pink-haired boy asked dumbly.
This shocked the "Salamander". He suddenly struck a pose, seemingly trying to impress the boy with a flashy smile as the girls fawn over him. "I'm the great Salamander. Surely you've heard of me?"
Jack snorted. 'What a putz. I know a lie when I smell one. Who the hell names their kid, Salamander?'
"It could be some kind of nickname... like humans calling me the King of the Monsters." Godzilla reasoned, getting a nod from Jack.
The boy, however, didn't recognize him as some celebrity and walked away from the crowd. Just then a group of girls attacked him, saying how rude he was. Out of instinct, Jack walked over and pushed the girls out of his way, not too roughly but not too gently either. "Hey! Knock it off!"
The girls turned to him and were about to snap back, but when they saw his amber-orange eyes glaring at them with a look that said 'try it', they were scared off. Running away screaming 'monster'.
As Jack sighed, Salamander said to the rest of the girl, who looked ready to attack the host of Godzilla, "Now, now, that's enough, my lovelies. There's no need for violence. I'm sure that the pink one didn't mean anything malicious." He then pointed to Jack. "And as for you, young man." Jack turned his head with an annoyed look in his eyes. "Please try and not scared off the girls. It's very rude."
All the girls were being amazed by his kindness and bravery, but the blonde that Jack bumped into crossed her arms and glared at Salamander.
"I will... when you cut off whatever you've done to make these women your mindless sheep," Jack said, making Salamander's eyes go wide. Jack then sneezed and wiped his nose with his arm. "I can smell it."
Salamander started to sweat a bit as he stared at the black-haired boy glaring at him with a terrifying look in his amber eyes. But then he saw that the girls were giving him glares filled with hatred and smirked. "Sorry kid, I'm afraid you're mistaken. Now I must be off, ladies. I have a business to attend to."
This got the attention of the girls and they all turned back to him. "You're leaving already?!"
Before Jack could take a step to stop him, Salamander snapped his finger and a purple magic circle apppeared under the celebrity. Then a tower of purple fire raised up and he was standing on it. "I'm having a little sware at my yacht tonight and you're all invited!" He openly announced before riding the flames off into the sky.
Jack growled lightly from his throat as the crowd began to disperse. The Titan host then turned to the pink-haired boy and grabbed the back of his outfit. "Hey, you alright?" He asked, lifting the boy off the ground and placing him back on his feet. "Took a nasty beating there."
"Yeah, thanks," said the pink-haired boy with a nod. The boy looked at Jack and his nose twitched. The level of power coming from Jack was immeasurable. "You don't smell like you're from around here. Did you come traveling?"
"He sure looks like a traveler," said a high pitched voice. Jack looked down and saw a small blue cat with a white stomach standing on its hind legs. It had a rectangular head, with pink ears, big black eyes with small, thin eyebrows, and light blue cheek marks near to its tiny whiskers (two on each side of the face). The had a triangular nose that led to semi-round upper lips on the sides. The cat was carrying around a green backpack.
Crouching down, Jack looked at the cat with wide eyes. "Holy shit, did you just talk?" he asked.
"Aye!" The cat said, lifting up his hand in the air. The cat then looked up at the pink-haired boy. "Looks like it wasn't Igneel after all."
"Yeah," the boy said before looking up at the sky with Jack. "What the hell was that about?"
"Some creep." Jack said with a small growl.
"You got that right," said a female voice. The two boys and cat turned their heads towards her.
The girl was a beautiful young woman with brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair that was tied by a ribbon in a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. She was buxom and had a curvaceous body that would make any man lust for her. She wore a sleeveless white and blue trimmed shirt that hugged her body, and a mini skirt with a belt tied around her waist that held a whip and a keyring with several gold and silver keys.
She held up a hand and smiled at Jack. "Thank you for your help."
'The hell did I do?' Jack thought with a raised eyebrow.
"My name's Lucy. It's nice to meet you." The blonde girl said.
"Aye," said the cat.
Awhile after Salamander left, Lucy brought the thee to a restaurant. The pink-haired teenager was stuffing his face with food, making everyone in the restaurant stare at him. The cat that was with him was eating a fish.
"Aha, um, Natsu and Happy, right?" She asked after the two on the other side of the table introduced themselves. Lucy looked at them with some sweat on her head, before looking at Jack. The adopted son of Godzilla looked at his food for a moment. He then picked up a rack of ribs with his bare hands and slowly bit into it. He was cautious given this was a different world from his own, so the food could taste bad. However, the taste was better than anything he could've imaged. So he started chomping down on it.
After being about to tear off a piece of meat and eating it, Jack looked to Lucy and said, "My name is Jack. Jack Reeves. Thanks for the meal."
"Yeah," Natsu said with his mouth full of food. "You so nice."
Lucy closed her eyes while holding up her hands. Food flying everywhere from Natsu and Happy. "Thanks, but it's really me who should be thanking you." She said. There goes the money she saved from that old man's shop she went to. Lucy then looked to Jack, who was halfway through his rack of ribs. "It's really me should be thanking you two."
Jack raised an eyebrow. "How come?"
"You see, that Salamander guy was using magic. A Charm spell to hypnotize the ladies in town to think they were falling in love with him. They have the power to attract people to you against their own will. But they've been banned for years! Nobody even sells them anymore." She explained, showing a pissed off expression. "He must have gone through a lot of trouble to get his hands-on that ring. What a creep."
'Magic exists in this world?' Jack thought, his mind turning to a certain Moth-type Titan whose fairy guardians could do, with their tricks, magic. 'Think it's like Mothra and her abilities?'
Godzilla scoffed. "Not even close. Mothra's power is far more stronger and mysterious than what humans believe. I doubt the magic of this world can even be compared to hers in an equal manner."
"I totally fell for his spell, but I snapped out of it, thanks to you guys bragging in when you did," Lucy said with a smile at Natsu and Jack. "I really can't thank you guys, enough."
While stuffing food into his mouth, Natsu mumbled, "No problem."
Jack wordlessly nodded.
"I may not look like it, but I'm a wizard too, though I haven't joined a guild yet or anything," Lucy said, scratching her cheek with a finger.
"What's a guild?" Jack asked with food in his mouth.
"Oh, I should probably explain, huh?" Lucy then started to explain and Jack listened while Natsu and Happy ate. "See, guilds are these organizations where wizards come together to share information and find work and things like that. Unfortunately, you're not considered a full-fledged wizard until you become a member of a guild." She then started to ramble on about some magazine publisher called Sorcerer's Weekly and how she hopes to get into one of the most special guilds one day. Taking on exciting jobs and making lots of money.
Jack then looked to Natsu. "So, what're you doing here, you two?" he asked the pink-haired boy and cat.
"Oh yeah, you guys came here to find somebody, right?" Lucy asked the man and cat duo.
"Aye, we're looking for Igneel!" Happy said, a Natsu tour off a piece of a whole pizza.
"We heard a rumor that a salamander was coming to this town, so we came to check it out. Turned out it was somebody else," Natsu said before eating the pizza whole. Jack wondered where all that food went inside the boy's body. "I bet he can't even breathe fire like a real dragon."
Lucy sweated as Jack stiffened slightly at the mention of the word 'dragon'. "So he has the ability to use fire like a dragon, or does he look like one?"
"Nah, you got it all wrong. He's not a person, he's an actual a fire dragon," Natsu clarified.
By this information, Lucy was left baffled with wide, white-eyes and her jaw slacked a little. Jack also looked surprised. "So wait, you're looking for a dragon? Why?"
"Simple," Natsu said. "He's my dad."
Now that surprised Jack. "Wait, as in he's your adopted father?"
"Yeah! But how do you know?"
"Let's just say I have something similar," he said, thinking of the G-Man inside of him.
"Wait, why would a fire dragon show up in the middle of town!?" Lucy suddenly exclaimed. Natsu and Happy were about to answer, but when they opened their mouths, nothing came out. Reality struck them like lightning. "It's totally ridiculous!"
Jack then saw her place down some money. "You're leaving?"
"Yeah, I should get going." She said, getting up from her seat and started walking to the exit. But before making her way out, a waitress was standing by the door to tell her to have a good day. But then the waitress's expression turned to one of shock when she looked behind Lucy.
Lucy looked over her shoulder and was also shocked. Even Jack raised an eyebrow to what he was seeing.
Natsu and Happy were bowing their heads in respect. "Thanks for the food!" Natsu exclaimed.
"You're embarrassing me!" Lucy exclaimed.
'Not a bad bunch, huh dad?' Jack asked with an amused look.
Godzilla snorted, seeing the scene through his adopted son's eyes. "Suppose so. Better than the humans of our world who'd shoot at me and misunderstand my intentions, always believing they can handle Titan problems when they really can't."
'Hey, not all of humanity was bad, remember.' Jack said.
"I know."
"So, we're in a world where magic exists, wizards exist, dragons exist... God, I hope none in this world are like Ghidorah." Jack said out loud as he was walking through town. "What do you think we should do now?"
"Perhaps these guilds can help us find a spell that can take us back home." Godzilla suggested. "Maybe joining one or visiting and inquiring about it would be a good course of action."
"What's that? You want to join Fairy Tail?" Jack's eyes widened when he heard that familiar voice. Looking towards the direction it came from, he saw Lucy was sitting on a bench reading Sorcerer's Weekly and was approached by Salamander, who showed up out of nowhere. Jack quickly got out of sight, while also watching the conversation. "I just came by and wanted to personally invite you onto my yacht tonight," Salamander said with a charismatic smile.
Lucy, however, was quick to reject and pointed at him. "Your Charm Spell won't work on me!" She exclaimed with a glare. "I'm aware of its use, so I'm unaffected!"
"You want to join Fairy Tail, don't ya?" Salamander asked, getting Lucy's full attention. Jack's eyes narrowed. Fairy Tail? Was that the guild Lucy's been wanting to get into? Who would name their guild something like Fairy Tail? Fairies don't even have tails. And Jack would know. Or was it Fairy Tale? "Tell me, have you ever heard of Salamander one of Fairy Tail's wizards?"
"Wait, you're telling me that you're a Fairy Tail wizard?! You're him?! That Salamander?!" Lucy demanded. Jack's enhanced sense of smell told him that the man was lying.
As he listened to Salamander offering again to come on his boat, he saw Lucy fall for the same trick again. Jack growled and glared at the man as Salamander flew away, and Lucy was freed from his spell. She pranced about hearing that she was going to get into Fairy Tail. Once she was out of sight, Jack stepped out into the open.
"I've got to stop him." he said.
"Don't be so hasty, boy."
"But what about Lucy?!"
"We'll be able to save not only her- but all the girls being brainwashed," Godzilla told his son. "From what I hear, the man's boat will be out at sea, and you know what that means."
Jack blinked before he grinned with a predatory growl leaving him. "We hunt him in our territory."
And I think I'll end it there. The rest will come in the next chapter. Let me know what you think in the reviews, people.
You know, I was very much tempted to make this a harem and have Jack show up elsewhere, meet several characters before arriving in Hargeon, but decided to just stick with this. I will make a Devil May Cry/Fairy Tail crossover once this story is completed, and I assure you that that story will be a harem.
